Chinese takeaways contain five times more salt than a McDonald's Big Mac

Add some soy sauce dip and you're already pushing your risk factors for stroke and heart disease.

While the report revealed that 97 percent contained 2g salt or even more as per the dish served.

The researchers said sweet sour pork, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, and other popular dishes sold in supermarkets and at restaurants have such high salt levels they could pose health impacts of "significant concern".
